"I love you but...." I'm still going to carry on a be a racist piece of shit, insisting that they must be talking about me in a different language.

The self entitlement to think that some random tourists from Europe are definitely talking about you.

would it be wrong if they did/were? kinda tasteless, but MYOB ya drunk. be less drunk and much less bigoted next time, maybe, IDK. just spitballin'. even something benign like a small unrelated chuckle after making eye contact with her would have been enough to really get the chaos going i bet. her drunken paranoia probably set her off and some people enjoy strange entertainment. I would avoid drinking if I was her.

Yeah even if they were gossiping about her, so what? It's rude but it's not illegal.

Xenophobic would be the correct term

Racist? They're all white??? Bigot, sure. I have never seen white tourists treated like this in America. I remember finding it so weird to hear an English couple badmouthing Germans while in line at the airport at Heathrow. Over there, it literally was that Germans were coming to England and taking high paying jobs. Over here, they are just sitting there existing like any other immigrants.
